Students, families, and members of the community gathered for an evening of mystery and philanthropy at Iowa Connections Academy’s statewide canned food drive kickoff party on October 25 at the school’s teaching center in Anita, Iowa.
At the kickoff event, attendees discovered who killed Mr. Boddy during a theatrical production of CLUE, led by Iowa Connections Academy students Alexis Timm (Miss Scarlet), Megan Buckner (Madame Rose), Willow Sword (Mrs. Peacock), Tyler Garton (Professor Plum), and Blake Eilers (Colonel Mustard). Guests showed their support for the school’s state-wide canned food drive initiative, which runs through November 22, by donating a total of 106 canned food items.
